The Creature (Inspired By Mary Shelly) Poem by Andy Brookes

The Creature (Inspired By Mary Shelly)

Rating: 5.0


emotions escalate
upward,
onward.
seaward swelling waves
tortuous tendentious
relentlessly syncopated unnatural beats

hidden Winter depths
senses frozen sewn and patched
locked in polar caps

shattered cardaic erythmia
Frankenstein stiches cobbles a monstrous confection
lusus naturae
alienation accepted but never wanted.
not truly man yet not a beast.

Who we ask is the true monster?

Like swelling waves emotions take a man upward. Winter's depth motivates mind. Life brings joy after birth but death provokes thought and brings sadness. An amazing poem is very brilliantly penned. Truth should be accepted....10
